Carlos Alcaraz arguing with their first semifinals of the season in the first tournament he played this 2023, the Buenos Aires ATP 250, in clay. The Spanish tennis player proves to have recovered from his injury and stepped up in his first two games, against the Serbs Laslo Djere (6-2, 4-6, 6-2) and Dusan Lajovic (6-4, 6-2).
This second match was played late on Friday, with a rain-delayed quarterfinal matchday. Alcaraz had no objection to playing at night and soundly defeated a Lajovic who dominated from the start on the scoreboard. In this way he adds filming to the track in an American tour that aims to be long for him.
After failing to earn playing minutes during the month of January, Alcaraz is registered in the clay court tournaments of Buenos Aires and of Rio de Janeiro. In the end he defended the title he won last year. Its calendar also includes, on the hard court, the tournament of acapulcoan exhibition on Las Vegas and the great final events of Indian Wells Masters 1000where last year he lost in the semifinals against Rafa Nadal, and Miamiwhere he also defended his victory in 2022.

Now, the Spaniard is waiting to see if his opponent in the semifinals is his countryman Barnabas Zapata or the argentinian Fran Cerundolowhich closed a long day of rooms in Buenos Aires at night.
